At this moment, Li Yu was leading his team slowly out of the mountains.

The terrain suddenly became lower and lower, as if the ground had suddenly sunken down.

Li Yu stood on the hillside, with a wide view.

Looking towards where the rainwater had gathered, Li Yu was instantly stunned.

Normally, rainwater would gather and flow eastward, but the scene before us was completely different.

He could clearly see that the rainwater was continuously gathering into streams, flowing westward.

Moreover, in the distant rain curtain, there was a vast expanse of water.

Even more surprisingly, a huge city was reflected in the water.

The city was situated in the middle of a body of water, surrounded by a large amount of accumulated rainwater.

Ma Yuanbai nodded silently. It seemed that this was the Zhongzhou Water City shown on the map.

Such a bizarre sight left everyone staring wide-eyed, filled with a sense of wonder.

Li Yu and his group moved westward along the direction of the water flow. As they got closer to the water city, the terrain under their feet became lower and lower, and the water gradually accumulated.

It's hard to imagine how a water city could have been built on such damp and waterlogged ground.

Looking at the city in the distance, which was almost integrated with the water, Li Yu couldn't help but frown.

It should be noted that they are not lacking in supplies at present, nor do they need to go into the city to rest.

Faced with such a damp, waterlogged city built on water, Li Yu couldn't see any reason why he should enter the water city.

Therefore, Li Yu planned to lead his team directly through the city, take a quick look, and then bypass the city to leave.

However, as Li Yu's group gradually approached the water city, he discovered that a large number of refugees had gathered outside the city.

This scene looked extremely familiar, almost identical to the refuge outside the Great Wall.

Stepping onto the specially built waterway in the water city, Li Yu looked to both sides.

The buildings that were originally built outside the city were completely submerged in the rain, with only the taller buildings barely showing their roofs.

As Li Yu's group approached from afar, the refugees gathered outside the city gate immediately spotted the large group.

The people in Li Yu's group were all dressed in uniform, and some of the awakened ones were carrying weapons. The originally bustling crowd of refugees wisely made way for them.

Only one refugee standing by the roadside seemed particularly bold. Noticing Li Yu and the others' curiosity about the water city, he mustered his courage and stepped forward to greet them, saying:

"Don't worry, everyone. This road is very sturdy and it definitely won't break."

"Besides, it's called a water city, a water city. If there's no water, can it still be called a water city?"

Seeing that the leader of the group on horseback was only focused on the woman in his arms and did not order his men to beat him, the refugee became even bolder and continued his introduction on his own:

"Don't be fooled by the depth of the water around us. Under the control of the city lord, the water level here has remained stable for many years and has stopped rising."

Ma Yuanbai also found it novel to hear that someone could control the water level and stop it from rising.

He casually pulled out two green algae sticks and tossed them precisely to the refugee who had offered to introduce him. The refugee's eyes lit up and he quickly caught them.

He then immediately picked up a piece of green algae and started taking big bites of it.

After wolfing down a piece, the refugee naturally understood Ma Yuanbai's meaning. He immediately pointed to the distant city gate and began to describe it in detail:

"The city got its name because it resembles a castle floating on the water, standing firm no matter how strong the wind and rain."

"It can be said that every building in the city is forcibly connected together with various materials."

"In this way, people living in the city can easily move between these buildings, but if they want to go deeper into the city, they still need to take a small boat."

Although this refugee had never set foot in Water City, he spoke of it vividly and eloquently, as if he had lived there since birth.

Listening to the refugees' introduction, Li Yu also noticed that Fu Xiyao in his arms seemed to become very excited after arriving near the water city, and even the supernatural power within her body fluctuated significantly.

Moreover, when Fu Xiyao arrived outside the water city, she always looked around curiously, and would occasionally use her special ability to sense the underwater environment. She even looked delighted when she saw a few small fish swimming by.

It seems that the abundant water element energy here is quite comfortable for Fu Xiyao, a water-element awakener.

Guided by the refugee, Li Yu and his group soon arrived at the city gate of the water city.

The city gates were heavily guarded, with soldiers from Zhongzhou standing at the entrance rigorously checking everyone who wanted to enter or leave.

Especially after learning that someone intended to harm the city lord, their vigilance became even more stringent.

Upon arriving at the city gate, the refugee who had led the way turned to Li Yu and Ma Yuanbai, helplessly spreading his hands and saying:

"My lords, it's not that I don't want to take you in, but as refugees, we are not allowed to enter the city. They say it's to prevent us from disrupting the city's order."

Li Yu nodded in understanding. Besides, he hadn't planned to enter Water City in the first place; he had just learned more about it from the introductions given by the refugees along the way.

He planned to lead the Seventh Regiment directly around the city and continue onward.

Just then, a group of people suddenly walked out of the city gate, and the leader was surprisingly a young woman.

The refugees who had been scattered around the city gates swarmed forward as soon as they saw the group appear, surrounding them completely, and some shouted:

"Miss Yun has come to give us food again!"

"Thank you, Miss Yun!"

At this moment, even the refugee who had led Li Yu's group was no exception; he rushed forward to receive the food distributed by Yun Shui Ning.

Li Yu looked over curiously and saw a beautiful figure in a white dress standing at the front of the group, like a blooming white lotus.

Her temperament was comparable to that of Zhao Deyang's daughter, Zhao Yue; she must be the "Miss Yun" these refugees were talking about.

Behind Miss Yun, the soldiers were carrying boxes of food that looked like biscuits.

Amid the cries of the refugees, Yun Shui Ning, with gentle movements and the help of soldiers, methodically distributed food to them.

At this moment, Yun Shui Ning also noticed the large crowd standing outside the city gate. She thought that more refugees had arrived, so she looked up at Li Yu's group.

The moment Yun Shui Ning saw Li Yu riding a sturdy black horse at the front of the group, her eyes froze, and a look of surprise and delight appeared on her face.

It looks so familiar!

Yun Shui Ning reads the newspaper every day and is very familiar with this figure.

Even if it's just a silhouette in a newspaper, she can recognize the person at a glance!
